Http + C++

I want to send an http request for a file from within c++. Specifically, i want to request a picture (i know the file name before hand), and i want to do it often. In fact, i dont even want the picture, i just want to be able to ask for it. Well, it would be nice to actually be able to see the pic, but really all i am trying to do is see if the file still exists. any help would be much appreciated.

I looked through the MSDN and then promptly slapped myself for the silly waste of effort. Why in the sam hill would i want to use an MFC class that is the third wrapper placed around a set of functions?
